NewsMultiphoton electron emission from diamond-coated nanotips: published in Physical Review Letters
Diamond is a highly interesting material for electron sources because it is not only mechanically robust, chemically inert and thermally conductive, but also exhibits negative electron affinity if the surface is saturated with hydrogen. Due to this special property, diamond has a low work function and can have a significantly higher quantum efficiency than materials […]Diamond is a highly interesting material for electron sources because it is not only mechanically robust, chemically inert and thermally conductive, but also exhibits negative electron affinity if the surface is saturated with hydrogen.
